Experience the magic of fall at Pumpkins Aglow, Branson’s newest enchanted night walk at Shepherd of the Hills—a glowing outdoor fall family adventure. As the sun sets, the enchanted trail opens at dusk, revealing thousands of illuminated pumpkins, whimsical displays, and glowing surprises around every corner.

Event Starts at 6 PM – Trail Opens at Dusk with timed entry. Fridays – Sundays & select Wednesdays and Thursdays

Timed Entry for the Pumpkin Trail
The Pumpkin Trail opens at dusk, just as the sun sets, revealing a glowing wonderland of illuminated pumpkins, whimsical displays, and surprises around every bend. Entry to the trail is timed. Guests can select their preferred trail time when purchasing tickets, with departure times available every half hour after sunset. The last trail entry time will begin one hour before the park closes. For example, if the park closes at 10:00 PM, the final trail slot will run from 9:00 PM to 9:30 PM.

What to Expect on the Trail
As you step into the night, the 1/2 mile one-way trail comes alive with thousands of glowing pumpkins and creative displays including a haunted zoo, skeleton army, classic Halloween characters, a tiki scene, and more that transform the night into an enchanted experience. This outdoor Halloween attraction is designed to be family-friendly, photo-ready, and packed with autumn atmosphere. (No jump scares or too spooky for young children.)

Enjoy the Park Before or After Your Walk
In addition to the trail, starting at 6PM, guests can enjoy the ambiance of the park. Face painting ($), build a scarecrow ($), photo ops, barnyard games, Harold’s Hall “Glow” Room, outdoor movies, roasting fire pits with marshmallow to purchase and an arcade offer fun for kids and adults alike. Please note: Most
